[ In all her beauty, she was protected by the walls ]

In all her beauty, she was protected by the walls
So many defenses to prevent her from taking the fall
She never let them in, and she never let herself out
She was the girl they all talked about

Nobody could touch, but they all loved to dream
Knowing they could never hold the thorn covered being
She was covered in protection and every defense she could think of
Making it so hard to feel the pain of love

They began to push her away and stopped coming around
So tired of sitting and waiting on the cold ground
They didnt know she was wilting within herself
Trapped in her self confined hell

She wondered if they knew that her attitude
Was just to save herself from certain doom
Doesnt want to feel the heartache but wants to fall in love
How come things just are never simple enough

Thorns rise on the walls around her heart
You cant reach it without being torn apart
And if you can break through the barriers and hold her
Bloody and worn and tired of trying, every inch of you hurts

Cause you climbed the walls and you tried to be the hero on the white horse
Then your heart will forever be joined with hers
But if you cant stand the pricks in your fingers and the scars you'll get on the way
Then those walls will continue to hold til another day
